Tetris For Trombone — About the Composer
The original “Korobeiniki” is actually a Russian folk song based on a poem by Nikolay Nekrasov, written way back in 1861 (ancient history, am I right?). But the version we all know and love from Tetris? That was arranged by a Japanese composer — Hirokazu Tanaka — in 1989 for the Game Boy version of Tetris (talk about a cultural mashup!).
Tanaka-san (that’s Mr. Tanaka in Japanese, y’all) is a BIG deal in the video game music world!! He’s worked on tons of classic Nintendo games, including Metroid, Kid Icarus, and Dr. Mario (dude’s got range, I’m tellin’ ya). But his arrangement of “Korobeiniki” for Tetris is probably his MOST famous work — it’s been stuck in our heads for decades!
(Fun fact: Tanaka didn’t just copy the original folk song. He added his own flair, including a new second part that gives the tune its iconic video game feel [source]).
The simplified trombone arrangement we’re talkin’ about here takes Tanaka’s version and makes it accessible for beginners. It keeps the catchy melody intact while stripping away any hard bits (perfect for us newbies, right?).
I gotta say, it’s pretty cool how this Russian folk song became a Japanese video game hit, and now it’s helping trombone players WORLDWIDE learn their instrument. Music really is the universal language, huh?

- Key: It’s in Bb major, which is super comfy for trombones (no weird positions here, folks)[11].
- Time Signature: We’re rockin’ a straightforward 4/4 time (that means four beats per measure, if you’re new to this).
- Dynamics: The arrangement keeps things simple — mostly loud (forte) playing. No crazy soft or loud parts to worry about (phew!).
- Historical Context: This tune has been around the block, y’all. It started as a Russian folk song, became a video game HIT, and now it’s helpin’ trombone players level up their skills (see what I did there?).
